ELIHU B. wAsHBURNE. the Father of the
House," having served continuously
longer than any other member. 1t was
when Gen. Grant was under fire." as
the political phrase was, in the year fol-
lowing the battle of Shiloh, that Mr.
Washburne first became prominent in
congress, his steadfast defense Of the
general, his neighbor in Galenn, attract
ing national attention. In the three years
following the war he was popularity cred
tied with being Grants political mana
GER" and he drafted the bill reviving the
grade Of lieutenant general, which Office
was conferred on Grant. He was again
elected to congress, but after Gen. Grant
became president one Of his first acts was
to name his old friend and constant sup
porter rs minister to France. In that
position Mr.. Washburne won his greatest
honors He remained in Paris during the
long siege, while nearly all the diplomats
fled, exerted himself heroically to defend
the helpless, and retrenched from his
ministerial state to assist the needy.
Many an American caught in Paris by
the sudden investment still speaks with
moistened eye of the minister; and to the
Germans domiciled in the city he was an
unwavering protector. The popular hatred
against men of German race was SO in
tense that Mr.. Washburne's house became
veritable sanctuary of refuge to them;
and in the negotiations to mitigate the
horrors Of war he proved of vast advan-
tal,e to both parties. No American minis
ter there since Franklin has shed such
luster upon his country. He came home
after the Franco Prussian war the most
popular man in the country and prom
mate candidate for the presidential NOM
ination. But he did not earnestly aspire
to the place, and after some minor public
services retired to private life. He will
long be noted in our history and admired
for sterling worth and unflinching devo-
ton to his friends and the good Of his
countrymen.
Mr.. Washburn's condition was lately
regarded as very critical, but he Is now
decidedly better. He recently published

man who is now in fast failing health,
was but few years ago among the most
noted men in the national one date
probably the most noted-and through all
his public career was an extremely useful
man, hard worker and ardent patriot
He first attracted the attention Of the
press by the curious fact that he was the
most prominent Of three brothers in con-
gress at one tme-the Thirty-ffth and
Thirty-sixth congresses-the three being
somewhat alike In appearance, but Gu
riously dissimilar in their habits Of thought
and style of speaking. OF the others,
Israel Washburn represented their native

crosses; while Cadwalader c Washburn
represented Wisconsin district two

tragedy rests upon the oldest girl, but the

children should not be allowed to see him

name was Pfantz; she was born in Balti-
